His lab, the Research and Engineering for Cyber Operations and Intelligence Laboratory, is a classroom where he runs researchers through intense tests.

“It can take up to five years to train someone,” Naver said.

“But we don’t have the luxury of waiting five years. We’re hoping to trim that to two and a half years.”

After a test, data from the RECOIL lab is sent to teams of economists, psychologists, sociologists, computer science researchers and more, who look for patterns that will help Naver design better classes.

The next step is creating a way to see all this data.

In the James Bond movie “Skyfall,” Bond’s team uses giant glass displays that show computer networks, and CERL researchers are working on similar — if less fanciful — display technology.

“It’s hard to represent that data in ways people can think: cognition, visual data and math people all see data differently,” Hart said.
